Brain (Watching Your Eyes)

Everyone knows ‘cept yourrself that these phases are fleeting
Time to take stock
And face up to the path life is leading
Watching your eyes with your eyes
And seeing through death’s disguise
Every awake finds the wake of the black water breaking
Watching your eyes with your eyes
And seeing through beauty’s disguise
Life is a game
When you win you begin to start losing
You fight to get by
To grow old
And then die alone with nothing
But watching my eyes with my eyes
Seeing through death’s disguise
Photographs end
And here come your friends
In the abyss you feel tenderly kissed and unaching
And there’s no appeal to seek out the next one to forsake you
‘cept when i watch your eyes
And see through your lies
Love is a game
When you win you begin to start losing
And all that remains
Is an old set of plans that’s abandoned
Reel turns around and I play the clown
Get out my life and let me be
Leave me free to leave me free
Looking ahead with no backward glances
